The IAOS Conferences are special events, bringing together the vibrancy and diversity of the international statistical community, both statistics’ producers and users from different countries around the world. The motto of this year’s conference is "Worthy Information for Challenging Times”. Nowadays the importance of statistics is greater than ever before.
